...that the vast majority of people who they claim "celebrated" Charlie Kirk's death actually:

a. Decried his murder and all acts of political violence;
b. Expressed condolences to Kirk's family; and
c. Simply pointed out that a and b notwithstanding, Charlie Kirk had a long history of making divisive and even hateful statements that continued up until the day he died, and that his murder, while tragic, did not erase that inconvenient fact.

about being a correction to the immediate big media gaslighting claiming Kirk was some champion of the 1st amendment and that "all he was doing" was encouraging open debate.
